It is hard to tell the exact steps, since it just happens sometimes. And it is when I play with setting new icons. The last time when it happened, was yesterday (sunday 2008/02/03). One note: I occasionally rename an image that is being used as an icon. I store them in /home/$USER/something/ directory.
It is like creating/modifying new icons in xfig and gimp and then setting it with 'right click/properties/click' on an item. I suppose it is not xfig/gimp related since I use them frequently and those directories do not arise - just only with the icon setting/modifying events. And one correction, the strange directory is being created in the home directory (not in Desktop directory, as I wrote, sorry). Therefore I do not see it immediately and I can not tell the exact trigger. I reveal it a few minutes after the directory creation, according to its properties.
